Alhamdulillah, the representatives from NanoMalaysia Sdn Bhd had given a presentation about funding opportunities for commercialization of research in nanomaterials and nanotechnology. They shared about the National Graphene Action Plan, iNanovation and Advanced Material Industrialisation programmes under NanoMalaysia Sdn. Bhd. They also enlightened us about research topics that are feasible for commercialization in Malaysia.
We hope, the inputs from the seminars could help the researchers in planning and doing their research works towards commercialization and for the benefit of the society.
